"They turned a muddy slope into the best room in our house. The design was spot on and the crew were tidy, polite and finished a day early."

FAQs

Good to know

How much does a new garden cost?

Most of our full garden projects are between £15,000 and £60,000. Patios alone start around £4,000. Use the cost calculator for a ballpark.

How far ahead do you book?

Design work can start within two to three weeks. Builds are usually booked six to ten weeks ahead, longer in spring.

Do you need planning permission?

Rarely for gardens, but raised decks, garden rooms and front driveways sometimes do. We'll check for you.

Do you use subcontractors?

No. Every job is built by our own employed team with a site manager on every project.
